Stephen Hero - A Part of the First Draft of a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
About this book
Discover the earliest incarnation of one of literature's most iconic minds in Stephen Hero, the fascinating first draft of James Joyce's modernist masterpiece, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
In Stephen Hero, readers witness the intellectual and spiritual formation of Stephen Dedalus, Joyce's brilliant and brooding alter ego, as he struggles to forge his identity against the backdrop of Irish nationalism, Catholic doctrine, and personal rebellion. First published in 1935, this unfinished manuscript offers an unparalleled window into the creative evolution of Joyce's craft.
Though ultimately reworked into A Portrait, this earlier version preserves scenes and insights not found in the later novel, making it essential reading for Joyce enthusiasts and scholars alike.
